WRITING
Elena Greco writes about the creative arts, wellness, activism, and the issues of our time. She has guest authored for national publications, including PSYCHOLOGY TODAY, THE GOOD MEN PROJECT, and CLASSICAL SINGER, as well as contributing a chapter to THE GREAT BOOK OF JOURNALING. She’s the author of three published books, including ABRACADABRA! A Manual for Making Dreams Come True, which helps you move forward powerfully in life and create what truly matters to you, VOCAL COLLABORATORS, which explores the relationship between singers and vocal accompanists, and HEALING, which gets to the essence of healing. Greco looks forward to the publication of two books in 2026: LIFE IN BALANCE, which is about true health—what it is and how to get it—and a hybrid memoir about trauma, FINDING SANCTUARY WITHIN, which will serve anyone who has suffered from trauma and its aftermath, as well as those who care about or work with them.

Magnify your ability to create what truly matters to you.
In addition to offering tools you can put to use right away, Abracadabra! lists every challenge you will face in pursuing your dream and offers a practical solution.
The book reflects on the process of building and maintaining rapport in a musical relationship—the most important element in producing true collaboration—as well as the other elements necessary to produce artistic collaborative vocal music. The book also explores how singers can get the most bang for their buck when choosing an accompanist, and how to choose the one that’s right for them.
This book tells you exactly what healing is, what allows it to occur and how to find it. It enumerates things to look for when searching for a healer, it teaches the reader how to create a healing experience for themselves or someone else, it addresses a few of the common concerns that prompt people to seek healing, and it explains the nature of the mind and the unconscious in healing.
Contributing Author
Contributed Chapter, “Journaling for Your Future Self” in THE GREAT BOOK OF JOURNALING: How Journal Writing Can Support a Life of Wellness (Eric Maisel and Lynda Monk, editors; Conari Press 2022).
“My journal is an old friend that has been with me for most of my life, from early adolescence through my current elder years. I’ve journaled both regularly and sporadically, journaling regularly for long stretches, then sometimes taking a hiatus for a month or even years. But I always come back to it. Why? Because journaling is the kindest, most healing, most self-preserving and self-validating thing I can do for myself. And because my journal is truly my best friend, the wisest one in my company.”
